First, this is not a flame, nor an attempt to get deleted or anything like that, I am just curious.

Why did the petition thread get locked ?

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=148750

Look I understand that this is not a democracy, but to close it without an explination seems a little harsh. It read to me like the modsquad just saying "Shut up". So......Are petitions not allowed ? Did it go off topic ? Was there flaming involved ? Why ?

the mods wont even listen to the players when we say we want the ban lifted. no offense intended at all :)

i am glad the thread got locked. word games are stupid, clog up the server, and the decision to disallow them is the best thing the Mods and Admins have ever done IMO.

Maybe they're just tired of discussing it. I suppose they have to follow the rules too. And when the rules say no "spam," it means no "spam."

They've already made a ruling on it, they've had several debates on it and by now they don't care.

Not helpful, or even on topic. Please move along. Thank you.

I am afraid that is not the case, there are a couple of spam threads going on right now.

And I am not mad or anything, I am just curious why it was locked without an explination. It seems like the civil thing to do.

Ask the mods. Do you know who locked it?

okaaaaaaaay :shock:

I was hoping one of them would stop by here. I have no idea who locked it.

okaaaaaaaay

I meant hate! Argh! I meant to say 'I hate you!'
*Hides face* Don't look at me!

Well, Stephistan is on right now. So go and ask her. Speaking of locking threads, I think this one is getting close to being locked.

I do not see why this one would be close to getting closed. It is a simple question posed in a civil manner about a subject concerning this board.

Indeed, and look what happened to the other thread.

Nah, this thread isn't even close to being closed.

If you have a problem with an NS ruling you're suppose to take it to Moderation, not General. I would of moved it.. but too much spam was in it. If you'd like to take the topic to moderation, by all means please feel free to.
